The prosperity and development of a country is inseparable from the dedication of outstanding figures, inseparable from the support of millions of people, throughout the ages, no matter which dynasty or country, there have been many devotees who made outstanding contributions in that era and have passed down their good names to this day.
The stability of the country and the progress of the people's livelihood are inseparable from the work and dedication of such outstanding people, but each individual's life is divided into two parts: work and personal life. As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to break off family chores, and sometimes, behind a successful person, there is also a bitter tear of his own.
And today we are going to walk into this famous hero called Zheng Chenggong, his name is well known, his name has been engraved on the glorious monument of the nation for generations, but he eventually died because of his own family chores.
What is the reason? At this moment, let's follow the author's notes into that history.
Ambition is successful
People will know Zheng Chenggong's name because he is a great hero in recovering Taiwan and resisting foreign invasions, and he is a heroic general who has guarded the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Chinese nation.
With the paving of the great achievements after that, we may wish to change our ways and first review Zheng Chenggong's career path.
First of all, his "successful" daimyo was still enfeoffed by Emperor Longwu, who greatly appreciated Zheng Chenggong's talent.
Zheng Chenggong, who was enthroned as emperor, strengthened his ideals and beliefs in the official arena to this point, of course, since then, his achievements have repeatedly proved that he not only thinks this way, but also practices his firm belief step by step.
Before successfully recovering Taiwan, he had made countless military achievements for the Ming Dynasty and defended the rule and safety of the Ming Dynasty.
Out of recognition and praise for Zheng Chenggong's achievements, the emperor of the dynasty repeatedly expressed his intention to seal him, but he refused.
From this, we can also see how righteous Zheng Chenggong's personal character is, how much he has the family and the country and great love, he does not seek fame and fortune, he does not seek utilitarianism, and it is precisely such a true and genuine national hero that can be remembered by the people.
1661, but also a year that made Zheng Chenggong's life undergo great changes, he successfully relied on his ability to lead the army, let Taiwan return to the embrace of the motherland, this historic moment, forever became the most brilliant chapter of Zheng Chenggong's life.
After Zheng Chenggong left the people, in order to commemorate this hero, people also spontaneously built the zheng chenggong ancestral hall, and from generation to generation, he was remembered and remembered by people.
But why did he die when he was in his prime? This starts with his housework.
Zheng Chenggong's family is ugly
Speaking of Zheng Chenggong's family, we must first talk about his wife, whose wife Dong You, is actually an unbiased housekeeping assistant, which starts with his son.
A person's energy is limited, and the world knows that Zheng Chenggong is working for the imperial court and serving the country outside, so he rarely has time to take care of the internal affairs of his own family.
He and his wife Dong You had a son named Zheng Jing.
Because the husband is working hard outside, everything in the family falls on the shoulders of his wife Dong You. The love of a mother is always much softer for the child, and it can even be said to be coddling. This also created the character development and behavior characteristics of Zheng Jing after the classic.
In ancient times, most of the family affairs were at the behest of their parents. After zheng zheng reached the age of marriage, Zheng Chenggong arranged a so-called door-to-door marriage for him, and the other party was Tang Shi, the daughter of Tang Xianyue, the shangshu of the bingbu.
Zheng Chenggong and his wife are very satisfied with the arrangement of this marriage, but in fact, Zheng Jing himself actually does not like this arranged marriage.
But helplessly, they can only marry Tang First, and after marriage, the two ostensibly play the husband and wife relationship of Qinse and Ming, but the real distance between the two is actually more like a friend who respects each other.
Zheng Jing's personality seems to be somewhat distorted, because his own wife, who is being married by Ming Media, is instead in love with his fourth brother's nursing mother, Chen Zhaoniang.
In this way, he enjoyed the pleasure of secretly having an affair with Chen Zhaoniang in private, not only that, but later, Chen Zhaoniang also gave birth to a child for him, named Zheng Kezang.
Zheng Jing, who was pleased with the crystallization of his love, was very happy about the arrival of this child, and he immediately wrote a letter to his father Zheng Chenggong, who was far away from the battlefield, but in the letter he did not say that the child was born to himself and Chen Zhaoniang.
Therefore, Zheng Chenggong naturally thought that his eldest grandson was born to his daughter-in-law Tang Shi, and he was also very happy, and ordered that Zheng Chenggong be rewarded immediately.
However, at this time, the Tang clan could no longer tolerate Zheng Jing's approach, so she also wrote a letter to Zheng Jing's "guilt" to her father-in-law.
Zheng Chenggong, who learned the real reason, was furious, and he scolded Zheng Jing for losing all his family face and reprimanding him for doing such a thing that violated ethics.
And when Tang Xianyue, the father of the Tang clan, knew that his daughter had suffered such a great grievance, he even criticized Zheng Chenggong for not being strict with his godson, and only then did such a great rebellion and corrupt the door style happen.
Depressed in the heart suddenly died
Zheng Chenggong, who could not be bothered by his son's face, could no longer sit still at this moment, and he decided that he must make a severe punishment for his son.
So he sent his subordinates to Zheng Jing's office and was ordered to execute Chen Zhaoniang.
However, Zheng Jing did not repeatedly defend Chen Zhaoniang, and even arrested the soldiers sent by his father.
Zheng Jing, who resisted the order, once again provoked zheng chenggong's anger, and he once again wrote to warn Zheng Jing that he had sent another person to execute the people involved in the matter, this time Zheng Chenggong's order was to execute zheng chenggong, along with his wife, Zheng Jing, Chen Zhaoniang, and grandson Zheng Kezang.
Why are so many people implicated this time? Because Zheng Chenggong felt that the reason why Zheng Jing could now do such a rebellious thing was inseparable from the loose education of his wife Dong Shi, so she was hard to blame.
However, the soldiers who were in charge of carrying out the order at that time thought about it and thought that General Zheng Chenggong only wanted to shock his wife and children, and did not really want to execute them. So at that time, in fact, they only executed Sun Zhaoniang in the end.
His own son did something unethical, and his subordinates did not strictly follow the orders, which already made Zheng Chenggong very angry in his heart.
But it was at this time that he learned that his father, who had been under house arrest for many years, had been beheaded in Beijing. The intertwining of multiple events can be said to make Zheng Chenggong suddenly attack his heart, so he fell ill in bed.
Family scandals have been repeatedly publicized, and the rule of Daming, to which he has always been loyal, is also in jeopardy at this time. It was not until May of the first year of the Kangxi Dynasty that Zheng Chenggong finally passed away forever due to successive blows, when he was only 39 years old.
